S 1160 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the location of the annual school district elections

This bill allows school districts to hold their annual elections in any building they own or lease, expanding the locations beyond just traditional schoolhouses. It requires that if a district uses a non-school building for voting, it must still meet state accessibility standards for voters with disabilities. The change applies to all school districts and gives local boards more flexibility in choosing convenient venues for their elections.
